The extras were kicked by flyhalves Handre Pollard, Robert du Preez and Tim Swiel.

Baby Boks coach Dawie Theron gave most of his squad of 35 game time in their first trial match of the season, and was impressed with what he saw.

‘I was very happy with what happened on the field,’ Theron told keo.co.za. ‘We did very in all departments – attack, defence and our set pieces were great.

‘The only thing I’d want us to better is to get our set-piece execution better from the outset. Other than that, everybody did a great job.’

Good news for the Baby Boks is that Theron has retained his assistants – Nazeem Adams and Brendan Venter – for the team’s 2013 campaign. Venter told this site last year that he wasn’t sure that he’d be available for a second Junior World Championship, which will be hosted in France in June.

‘It’s great to have Nazeem and Brendan on board,’ Theron said. ‘Nazeem won the U19 provincial tournament with WP last season, so he knows all these U20 players. We’re all very excited to prepare for our title defence.’
